[The Glory Unveiled]
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [ Romans 8:15 KJV ]
The Lord Jesus promised that He would not leave His followers as orphans. Instead, He said He would send “another of the same kind” speaking of the Holy Spirit. Through the writings of the Apostle Paul, we are told that “we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.” Before we were born again and received the Holy Spirit, we were already under the influence of a different spirit—a spirit of bondage that held us captive and kept us enslaved to fear, sin, and separation from God. But when we came to Christ, everything changed. We received another Spirit. Scripture declares, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” The Holy Spirit does not produce slavery. He produces assurance in God. More than that, we have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” Through the Holy Spirit, we have been brought into the family of God. We are no longer strangers, outsiders, or spiritual orphans. We have been accepted, embraced, and given the right to relate to God as our Father. This is our new reality in Christ, and it must become our daily consciousness. We are not children of bondage; we are children of adoption. We do not approach God as slaves trembling before a master, but as sons and daughters welcomed by a loving Father. The Holy Spirit is “another of the same.” He comes to reveal Christ, glorify Christ, and continue the work of Christ in us. He is fully God, sharing the same divine nature as the Father and the Son, yet distinct in personhood. Through Him, the presence of Jesus remains with us, and through Him, we experience the life and fellowship of God every day. Therefore, refuse to live as an orphan when you have been adopted. Refuse to live in fear when you have received the Spirit of power. Let the consciousness of your sonship silence every voice of bondage, and let the Spirit of adoption continually remind you that you belong to God.
